It's already Friday! Today's our retreat. I woke up early in the morning, I sat up and decided to take a shower. After I took a shower, 

I changed clothes.

I looked at the clock and it's already 7 am! Our departure is 8 am so, we'll arrive at Naksan at 3 pm. This clothes that I'm wearing

was bought by my stepmom when I got a higher score in our entrance exam. I got my back pack and went downstairs. I saw

Jessica eating her breakfast. I sat beside her and ate my breakfast.

"Jessica! Xenia! Pali! Pali!" my stepmom said as she was tapping our shoulders

"Umma! It seems like you're more exited than us" Jessica said as she stood up

"I'm afraid that you can't join your retreat. This is just once in a life time" my stepmom looked at Jessica

"Xenia-sshi" Jessica looked at me

I looked up "Oh?"

"Pali!" she said and went to the living room

I ate my breakfast hurriedly and stood up. I went to the living room immediately. Appa went downstairs and went closer to us

"Are you now ready, Jessica? Xenia?" my appa asked

"Appa, I'll miss you" Jessica said as she wrapped her arms to appa's waist

"It will only took three days, Jessica"

 I sighed and pouted as I looked at them.

Jessica looked at me "Waeyo? Are you not going to miss appa?" 

"Of course! I'll miss him" I said

Jessica let go of appa "Appa, we'll be going now"

"Xenia-sshi!" my stepmom called me while she was running towards me

"De?" I asked

"You forgot your lunch" my stepmom said as she gave to me my lunchbox

"Ahh.. gomawo" I smiled at her and put my lunchbox inside the bag

"Appa! Let's go! We'll be late" Jessica said

"Arasso" appa said

"Umma, we'll be going now" Jessica said

I thought she was going to hug her umma but she just passed by in front of her. 

"We'll go now" I said as I bowed down in front of my stepmom

She gave me a warm hug and let go of me "Take care, arachi?"

I nodded and smiled at her

Jessica, appa and I went inside the car. We're almost late! Luckily, they've been waiting for us. There are two buses because they are

only two sections in 4th year. I sat beside Sulli inside the bus. She got her iPhone and she started listen to some music. She placed 

her earphones each in her ear. I watched at her curiously. 

"You want?" she asked as she offered the right side of the earphone

"Aniya" I smiled at her

"Aish!" she muttered and placed the right side of the earphone in my ear

I got mesmerized by the lyrics and the song. I remembered my umma when she was still here. I miss my caring umma. When I was 

in 4th grade, I got bullied because my classmates knew that I have a mute umma and they kept on bullying me. But Donghae was 

different from them. When he knew that my umma was mute, he got pity to me. He was my friend when nobody wants me to be their

friend. I'm so lucky that I have Donghae until now. If Donghae didn't come to my life, I'm still a coward right now that doesnt know how

to fight when somebody hurts me. So, I'm so thankful that I have Donghae. Umma, I know that you're doing fine there and you're 

already happy. I wish you can still me guide me to the right path, umma. Umma, I really miss you. Umma, saranghe. Tears began to

fall from my eyes. Sulli stared at me

"Why are you crying?" she asked

I wiped my tears and looked at her "I remembered my umma"

"Oh. Is it because of the song? I'll change it" she said as she searched some songs in her iPhone

"Aniya. Gwenchana"

She pressed her iPhone happily and the song was played. She looked at me

"This song is going to make you happy"

I looked at her with a huge smile. I'm also thankful that I met Sulli and she became my friend. She was there to comfort me and she's

also there when I'm down. She listens to my stories and give me advices. I gave her a warm hug and let go of her. She gave me a

puzzled look

"Gomawo" I mummbled

She laughed shyly
